It has been 78 days since COVID-19 had an indelible impact that was felt all over the world. More than likely, it has been that long since your church has met together in person.

As we approach Memorial Day and Independence Day in the United States, there is an age-old song nearly 500 years old that rises into our times of worship in both modern and traditional forms. "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" is one of the best-known hymns by Martin Luther, initially composed in 1529, and inspired by Psalm 46. The words remind us to be full of faith in God amidst the challenges we face -- "the flood of mortal ills prevailing". The words ring true in the face of our enemies, whether they be human, spiritual, or even medical. Take note, all the songs from the PraiseCharts modern version of this song are free for a limited time.

Memorial Day is a special weekend in May, celebrated as a statutory holiday in the United States. It is a time to remember those who have gone before us and paid the price for our freedom.

We honor Jesus, even as we honor our fellow soldiers, giving thanks and remembering the price they paid for us. Here is a list of contemporary and classic worship songs well suited to days of memorial remembrance for church services all around the world ... more
